Her Trinkets

"I like keeping fresh flowers in old bottles, so I usually have a few resting on top of my bed. The Russian nesting doll was a gift from my a friend from Saint Petersburg, and the little porcelain cat is from Tokyo."

Her Shoes

"My shoe collection is very small! I tend to buy neutral shoes that match with everything, but that also comfortable and can withstand all of the walking that I do in Manhattan. My favorites are my black Ariat lace-up boots—I've had them through two New York winters, and have walked hundreds of miles in them, but they don't show it at all!"

,

Her Camera

"My Hasselblad is one of the most precious things that I own, and it makes the world look so crisp and beautiful. I love shooting with it, but I'm always tentative to take it out. It's very heavy, and I'm terrified of dropping it."

,

Her Plant

"I picked up my plant while grocery shopping one day, and decided to make it an homage to Keyboard Cat. Play him off, Keyboard Cat!"

,

Her Style

"Most of my closet consists of floral dresses, and this one is a button-up dress with cutouts from Forever 21."

,

Her Books

"Everything Matters! by Ron Currie Jr., The Sound and the Fury by William Faulkner, and White Noise by Don DeLillo are the top three books on my shelf. I write a lot in my free time, so I often refer to these books for inspiration. The journals on the right document a lot of my childhood, and I got the glass shark on an elementary school trip to Sea World."

,

Her Design Outlook

"I wanted a space that could double as a living and work space: something cozy that also keeps me inspired and focused on my work. I try to keep my space minimalistic and clean, and having a lot of natural light and plants is relaxing."

,

Her Mementos

"I got the dream catcher and bone whistle in Wyoming, and the cat illustration was a gift from my freshman year roommate."

,

Her Windowsill

"The tree-box is from Yosemite, and the candle is a very old purchase from American Eagle Outfitters. I got the cactus from a plant store in Chinatown in Manhattan, and drew a pattern down the side with Copic markers."

,

Her Outfit

"I tend to buy easy dresses that don't need much styling, and this dress from Madewell is one of my favorites. My Dolce Vita boots were a great find at Buffalo Exchange. Thrifted items like those boots keep me scouring re-used clothing stores."

,

Her Art

"I love to pin work up around my room with black sewing pins, and these are some of my bigger drawings and a photograph I took of a friend. The hat is my roommate's, but we share it between all of my friends. It's decorated with a dried chain of flowers."

,

Her Chair

"I got this vintage children's school chair off of Craigslist, and you can even see where kids carved their names into the back of it. Sitting on top is my roommate's terrarium and succulents, and I picked up the serape back in San Diego."

,

Her Desk

"My desk is often a random assortment of things for projects I'm working on, but a few things stay the same: my brush and pen jars made from recycled containers, my iPod speakers, some stacked datebooks, and my architect's lamp from Crate and Barrel. The desk itself is an old drafting table with a light table from Ikea, but I bought it on Craigslist."

,

Her Collage

"My collage has my doodles as well as drawings by some of my favorite artists. Will Bryant illustrated the New York Times Magazine cover in the middle, and the illustrations on both sides of it are by Josh Cochran. There are also illustrations by Esra Rise and Bill Connors, a set-list from a Light Asylum show, a Baggu postcard, and cutouts from National Geographic magazines from the fifties."

"Having inspiration right above my desk is great when I'm stuck on a design or illustration project. The collage changes all the time, and I'm always sticking new work up there!"

,

Her Inspiration Board

Clockwise from top left: a cutout from an old National Geographic story, a doodle from Haley's sketchbook, and an illustration of hers.

,

Her Illustrations

Clockwise from bottom center: An illustration by Josh Cochran, an illustration by Esra Rise, a doodle of Haley's, a postcard she got from the MoMA PS1 Art Book Fair, and a jellyfish photograph from FOAM Magazine.

,

Her Collectables

"The 'I Wish to Succeed in NY' ribbon was part of Rivane Neuenschwander's amazing installation, 'I Wish Your Wish,' at the New Museum. The entire room was draped in ribbons with wishes printed on them, and visitors were supposed to take one and wear it around their wrist. When the ribbon eventually fell off, the wish was supposed to come true—the day mine fell off was actually a great day for me!"

Clockwise from top left: An illustration by Josh Cochan, an illustration of Haley's, a postcard from MoMA, and an old photo booth picture of Haley and her mother. Illustrator Maarten Donders inspired Haley's doodle in the center.

,

Her Necklaces

"I love mid-media jewelry, like these necklaces from Forever 21. The woven rhinestone-leatherette-brass chain necklace is my favorite, and I wear it nearly every day."

,

Her Desk Accessories

"I keep my Muji, Pantone, and Copic drawing pens in a handmade pot that my boyfriend bought for me when he went hiking in Yellowstone. One of my friends sculpted the little penguin a kneaded eraser, and it's too cute to use as an eraser ever again!"

,

Her iPad Case

"I'm currently doing some iPad design work, so having my own has been really helpful. Inside the laptop case is my computer and tablet—my two main tools for designing."

,

Her Camera

"This Canon Rebel is my favorite 35mm, even though its shutter is very temperamental. It's from the early eighties, so its been through a lot!"

,

Her Accessories

"The woven Indian mat is courtesy of my boyfriend, and the candle is sitting in a floral porcelain dish that I found at Junk in Williamsburg. I've had those Urban Outfitters sunglasses for years, and they match everything. My keys hang from an old leather tassel, and my nail polishes are in two of my favorite colors: warm grey and cream."

,

Her Reading Material

"I collect Showpapers, which are awesome newspapers with concert dates on one side and artwork on the other. I often hang them up as posters in my room, but I keep the rest in a big pile in my bookcase. On top are a few zines that I picked up at the MoMA PS1 Art Book Fair, as well as a Moleskine notebooks filled with my poetry."

,

Her Beauty Routine

"My hair is naturally curly and frizzy, so I use Neal's Yard Remedies Wild Rose Beauty Balm to keep it in line. It's actually supposed to be a facial mask, but it has a lot of great oils in it that work for your hair, too. I use Burt's Bees Eye Cream to keep my puffy eyes and dark circles at bay after long nights of work. I love nail polish, but I can never wear any—I work with my hands so much that it chips off right away!"

,

Her Boots

"These boots are from Dolce Vita, and I love the toe and grommet details. I love to shop at Low Classic, an amazing Korean company that makes great basics, sweaters, dresses, and shoes. Oak has a similar minimalistic aesthetic, and I love and Thread & Stone and Love Adorned for jewelry. Luckily, Williamsburg is a great place for vintage and thrift shopping!"

,

Her Handbags

"I hang all of my colorful scarves and bags on the back of my door, and it helps to keep my room de-cluttered. Currently hanging is an old tote with a Josh Cochran print, a neon-print square scarf, some nautical knot bracelets, Panasonic headphones, and my Dooney & Bourke bag from the eighties."

,

Her Inspiration

"Walking around in Soho provides fashion inspiration, as so many people style themselves unique and fashion-forward ways I also love minimalist fashion blogs, especially Ivania Carpio’s blog Love Aesthetics."

,

Her Street Style

"My sunglasses are from Urban Outfitters, my dress is from Zara, my shoes are by Michael Kors, my bag is by Dooney & Bourke, and the coat is borrowed from my roommate."

,

Her Look

"I dress in a lot of nature-inspired colors: brown, grey, green, and navy. I used to wear neon colors back in California, but something about moving to New York completely changed my style. I dress much simpler now, and my color pallet is more muted. Everything in my wardrobe matches, so getting dressed in the morning is pretty simple."

Tour New York College Student Haley Stark's Bedroom

This artist's Williamsburg pad is filled with retro cameras, original illustrations, and mementos from museum exhibits.

Though she's still in school, Haley Stark's already an accomplished graphic designer, photographer, illustrator, and writer. She's worked as the art director of a campus magazine at New York University, as well as at Alexander Wang and downtown indie magazines. It looks like she's conquering the world of interior design next. "I'm obsessed with interior architecture and building furniture, but my place is too small to do any of that right now," she says. "I love Ikea because it's as close as I can get to constructing my own furniture, and the store's items are modern and wallet-friendly." Haley pairs the Swedish brand's sleek, simple furniture with vintage knickknacks, magazine cutouts, and fresh flowers and plants in her Brooklyn apartment.

"When you get started in the arts, its important to be patient with yourself," she advices. "The more you practice and the more work you produce—even if it doesn't live up to your expectations—the more you'll be able to see what works visually." Judging from her stylish apartment, we think Haley's got a strong blueprint for a career in decorating.
